The Complete Enderby (Vintage classics)

The Complete Enderby (Vintage classics)

by Anthony Burgess (Author)

Synopsis

Enderby - poet, social critic, comrade and Catholic - is endlessly hounded by women. He may be found hiding in the lavatory where much of his best work is composed, or perhaps in Rome, brainwashed into respectability by a glamorous wife, aftershave and the dolce vita. But whether he is pursuing revenge and inspiration in Morocco, expounding on his notorious sex film on a TV chat show, or writing a hit musical based on the life and work of Shakespeare, Enderby emerges triumphant.

Media Reviews
The Enderby series are even finer comedies than those by Evelyn Waugh. -- Gore Vidal Ferociously funny and wildly verbally inventive. -- The Times Burgess is the great postmodern storehouse of British writing... an important experimentalist... a playful comic, with a dark gloom. -- Malcolm Bradbury
